Angers SCO

DDDLLL 📉

Angers SCO will be hoping to return to winning ways here after a 5-0 Ligue 1 losing effort in their last game against Montpellier.

In that game, Angers SCO managed 40% possession and 10 attempts at goal with 4 of them on target. At the other end, Montpellier had 15 shots on goal with 8 of them on target. Wahbi Khazri (2'), Téji Savanier (25', 51'), Faitout Maouassa (45') and Elye Wahi (73') scored for Montpellier.

It’s been seldom in recent games where Angers SCO have shown defensive steel. The reality is that Angers SCO have been scored against in 5 of their previous 6 clashes, shipping 12 goals during that time.

Going into this one, Angers SCO have not won at home in their last 9 league matches. No joy for the home fans.

Toulouse

WWLLWL

Since being beaten in their last game against Clermont Foot in Ligue 1 action, Toulouse and their fans will hope to get a better result this time.

In that match, Toulouse managed 51% possession and 9 shots on goal with 0 on target. At the other end, Clermont Foot got 12 attempts at goal with 3 on target. Saîf-Eddine Khaoui (76') was the scorer for Clermont Foot.

The numbers tell their own story, and Toulouse have been scored against in 6 of their last 6 matches, letting opponents get 10 goals in total. At the back, Toulouse have some weaknesses to address. Putting that to one side, we must now wait to see whether such a trend might continue on in this upcoming game or not.

Ahead of this clash, Toulouse have not won away from home in their last 2 league games.

📋 Team News: Angers SCO

Nearly everyone is up for selection, with just the sole fitness concern for the Angers SCO manager Abdel Bouhazama to be concerned about thanks to an otherwise robust group. Loïs Diony (Cruciate Ligament Rupture) is out of contention.

It seems likely that Les Scoïstes may well go for a 4-3-3 system for the game with Paul Bernardoni, Yan Valery, Cedric Hountondji, Miha Blazic, Souleyman Doumbia, Himad Abdelli, Batista Mendy, Pierrick Capelle, Abdallah Sima, Ibrahima Niane and Amine Salama.

📋 Team News: Toulouse

In an otherwise available group of players, there’s just a single fitness worry for the Toulouse boss Philippe Montanier to contend with. Rhys Healey (Cruciate Ligament Rupture) misses out for this game.

We are inclined to think that Toulouse will likely make use of a 4-3-3 lineup, giving starts to Maxime Dupe, Mikkel Desler, Anthony Rouault, Rasmus Nicolaisen, Gabriel Suazo, B. van den, Stijn Spierings, Brecht Dejaeghere, Zakaria Aboukhlal, Thijs Dallinga and Fares Chaibi.

🔮 Prediction

Here is a game where Angers SCO will have their work cut out to register a score against this Toulouse lineup who we think should be able to grind out a win.

We’re going for a highly competitive game with a 0-1 winning margin for Toulouse when the referee blows for full-time.

Little in this one.
